Unprofessional and Inappropriate Customer Service - Avoid This Company…read more I recently moved to the area and was looking for reliable childcare, so I called this company to learn more about their services. Since I had never heard of them before, I asked basic questions--do they match families with nannies? Do they facilitate interviews? Do they have a database of caregivers? Instead of receiving helpful information, I was met with an unprofessional and downright inappropriate response. Rebecca, the person I spoke with, questioned whether I was soliciting--a completely absurd and offensive assumption. I was simply a parent seeking childcare, and her comment made me feel as though I was asking for something inappropriate. It was not only disrespectful but also incredibly unprofessional. If this is the level of communication they provide to potential clients, I would never trust them to handle something as important as finding care for my children. Rebecca is clearly in the wrong line of work if she lacks the basic customer service skills to handle simple inquiries. For any parents looking for a trustworthy, professional nanny service, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. A business that treats families this way is not one you want to rely on for childcare.

I have used Rebecca and her team to find two amazing nannies for our toddler. She is exceptional at…read morewhat she does and if you're looking for a seamless nanny search process to find a well-qualified "best in class" nanny, A Nanny for U is really the only option in town. Her process to interview and find qualified nannies that are the right fit for you family shows in the quality of candidates she puts forward. I'm honestly so shocked to read a couple of the other reviews that seem almost planted by competitors or something - she's so good! She just sourced another nanny for us after our first nanny is moving on to start her own family and a real estate career. The bond she formed with our son has been truly special - and we would have never found her if it were not for Rebecca. We've also used A Nanny for U for temp nannies when our permanent nanny is out sick or on vacation. She has sent us incredible care professionals - most that are students going to nursing school or have child care or early education backgrounds. INCREDIBLE. Her process is very direct which i appreciate - she asks our family a bunch of questions about our lives, what are dealbreakers, what are musts -- all professionally and i think that process helps her find the right fit for our family. Her team helps with reference and background checks and all the leg work that honestly as a full-time professional i don't have time to do myself. I've had friends that have tried to cut corners and go through Facebook Nanny pages or Care.com (ew) and have had truly awful experiences and have gone through multiple nannies and daycare situations. Additionally, Rebecca and her team have always been available to me over the past 2 years to answer questions on raises and bonuses, benefits, and contracts. They were prompt and always professional -- i never felt that as soon as they got their placement fee they weren't there for me as a client. They truly care about the families they serve. Yes - it is expensive. It's worth every penny - this is a company that is sourcing someone to care for your CHILD. Make the investment and hire A Nanny For U - as a mother, it was one of the best choices I've made for our family.

As first-time parents, finding a nanny for our 3-month-old daughter so I could return to work felt…read moreincredibly nerve-racking and daunting. From our very first conversation, Kelly, the founder of Evergreen Nannies, was professional, thoughtful, and truly understood how important this decision was for our family. She took the time to learn what we were looking for, especially our desire for someone who could commit long-term to provide consistent, stable care. Kelly handled the entire process seamlessly, coordinating interviews, conducting background and reference checks, and helping us create a contract that felt fair and comfortable for everyone involved. She made us feel fully supported and heard every step of the way.  We met with several nannies on our own during the process, but ultimately, the nanny that Kelly matched us with (Nanny Dawn) felt like the strongest and most natural fit for our family. Dawn has been wonderful and quickly became like a member of the family. She is warm, dependable, fun, and such a loving, steady presence in our daughter's life. As an added bonus, she even lives within walking distance from our home! We're so grateful for Kelly's guidance and expert nanny-matching skills and would highly recommend her nanny agency to any parents out there searching for high-quality, supportive childcare for their little ones.

After a difficult experience with our previous nanny from another agency, we were understandably…read morenervous about starting the search again--especially as first time parents and with our daughter being just 6 months old at the time. From the very first conversation, Evergreen Nannies put our minds at ease. They were professional, transparent, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. They took the time to really understand our family's needs and what kind of caregiver would be the right fit for our baby. Evergreen handled every step--from interviews and background checks to reference verifications--and even prepared the nanny agreement and contract for us, which made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Their communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and supported. Thanks to Evergreen, we were matched with Kymberlee, who has been an absolute blessing to our family. She's warm, dependable, and wonderful with our daughter. Knowing that our little one is in such loving and capable hands brings us so much peace of mind every day. We're so grateful to Evergreen Nannies for helping us find the perfect fit and for turning what could have been a stressful search into such a reassuring and positive experience!

They are more interested in dragging out the process so they can keep your finder's fee and hide behind their contract when you're dissatisfied with the nanny they chose for you.

Her placement fee of 10% came out to almost 50%…read more We were looking for a part-time nanny. Because it's our first time we opted for 6 months. Everywhere, on her website, in the contract itself she says the placement fee is 10% or a minimum fee. Her minimum fee is $6000, we felt blindsided. she buried it in one line in an attachment. Not during our entire exchanges, not on the website, and not even in the actual contract itself. There are enough other businesses you shouldn't have to play games of find the On reflection what I didn't like what she did/didn't do for that price point. 1-only communicated in text or email. Didn't even talk on the phone despite my calling.. 2-Didn't inspect the home. For that price point she should do that. 3-The big one is there was no network, just posted our application on indeed. That was a what the moment for me. In another review complaining about the same thing she replies saying they use multiple resources- I never saw any evidence. And my nanny applied through the indeed posting. 4- Since then I learned there are actual nanny agencies that do payroll and insure Nannie's in house (Jovie). They don't even do that- just refer to a third party and aren't even involved in the setup.

I moved to this country as an adult and my entire family lives abroad. She and her family are like having local family my boys have never had. I really appreciate the level of care they are receiving here and the fact they have zero screen time as well. The other parents and children have been lovely and my boys have become good friends with the other little children here. They are always so happy when I pick them up. There have been a handful of times I got stuck in traffic on the way home from work because of issues with the West Seattle bridge or car accidents, and she was just as cheerful and kind when I was late as when I arrive to pick them up on time. She refused to let me pay for the minutes I was late. I visited a lot of daycares before choosing this one and I have not regretted my choice for a second. Zion is truly a gem of the highest order.
